Summary: Good practical book to learn SQL on iSeries
Review: This book was just what I needed. I'm an RPG programmer who has to learn SQL for a new application we're developing. Found most of what I needed here.

Summary: Excellent
Review: This is a very well-written book that covers SQL/400 thoroughly. I'm impressed with how well the authors have organized the breadth of material and the technical details which they've ferreted out of the sometimes impenetrable IBM manuals. The ILE RPG coding examples have some of the best-written code I've seen -- I learned a few RPG techniques (as well as SQL, of course) by going through them.This book lives up to the high reviews others have given it.

Summary: This is the SQL/400 "Bible"
Review: This is really an awesome book! The level of technical detail and good programming advice is much better than I've found in most of the AS/400 books that are out there. In two weeks of using this book, I've dog-eared a dozen or so pages that I use for quick reference (e.g., column types). This is also a book that was obviously written for serious developers. I've found complete coverage of transactions, security, naming standards, and lots of other topics that are often ignored or treated superficially in other programming books. This book really does deserve the praise other reviewers have given it.
